Sadly the marriage was not to last.

Their relationship folded as they each struggled to deal with the changes wrought by Yolanda's declining health after her 2012 diagnosis with Lyme Disease, while her music producer husband's busy career often took him away from home.

The two released a joint statement this week, saying: 'We've shared 9 beautiful and joyous years together.

'During that time we experienced love, friendship and the inevitable challenges that come with managing a marriage, careers, blended families and health issues.'

The couple were last seen together a month ago, when David celebrated his 66th birthday by watching the LA Lakers play with Yolanda.

People offered even more insight into why the marriage fell apart. 'Things really changed in their relationship as Yolanda got sick,' said the source, adding David was just not around much.
